Key Accomplishments

At my last company I was the first hire on the business side. I was able to make key investor intros and helped close our Series A round. I was also responsible for most of our early sales and partnerships (including first strategic and retail partners) and helped develop our go to market strategy based on early customer feedback. My primary skill sets are building key early relationships, sales and partnership strategy, but also improving processes and products (which is where I am focused now).

We worked together
Erika IS a great entrepreneur already! She has the ability to seemlessly move between different contexts and yet always perceive and seize ...
opportunities to thrive and secure business growth within them. She is someone who can see the wood for the trees, and has the wits and wherewithal, tenacity and commitment to carve out growth for ventures she works with, using a combination of smarts and guile. She's a great networker - but not in a shallow user sense, rather in a warm, genuine way. When she does need contacts and support to progress her ventures she therefore never lacks for people to help her do it. She in sum has all the key qualities of an entreprneneur - flexible, versatile, adept, personable, sharp. She will moreover never compromise her values or short-change anyone on the way to achieving success. So if you want someone who will cut corners, be cutthroat and sacrifice people and brand integrity along the way she isnt the person for you. Ultimately, she's an entrepreneur who would be a real asset to any venture she works on or with.
